89 Points

Thursday, January 27, 2011 - Good food and so-so wines at Wein & Co in Salzburg; 1/27/2011-1/28/2011: Super, velvety, crushed overripe dark blackberry/loganberry aroma. Intoxicatingly heavy, a joy to sniff. The palate is surprisingly light: lively blackberry and ripest raspberry with plenty of acidity (which my suspicious and nasty mind wonders if it can be entirely the result of fermenting grape juice, or whether a friendly chappy in a white lab coat might not have helped out...) Well-integrated, smooth tannins and a decent finish. Should this be so juicily well-rounded at its tender age? Caveat emptor if you plan on cellaring this baby. Blaufränkish/Zwiegelt/Merlot blend. 89P
